Dryer Vent Cleaning in Fort Wayne, Indiana
2,900 home dryer fires every year. 34% caused by failure to clean. We run a 4K camera through your entire vent before any work begins — you see the evidence, then we clear it completely.
Your Dryer Vent Is a Fire Hazard You Can't See
The USFA reports 2,900 home clothes dryer fires every year — causing 5 deaths, 100 injuries, and $35 million in property loss. The leading cause? Failure to clean the vent, responsible for 34% of all dryer fires.
Even if you empty the lint trap after every load, fine lint fibers pass through and accumulate inside your vent line. Every bend, turn, and vertical climb creates a collection point where lint builds up over months and years.
Fort Wayne homes are especially at risk. Two-story homes in neighborhoods like Sycamore Hills and Chestnut Hills have long vent runs. Cold Indiana winters cause condensation inside vents that traps lint and can freeze vent caps shut. Older homes in Northside and Southside often have aging vent systems that need more frequent attention.

How We Clean Your Dryer Vent — Step by Step
4K Camera Inspection
We run a 4K inspection camera through the full vent run before any work begins. You see exactly what's accumulated on a screen. This is the step most Fort Wayne companies skip.
Rotary Brush Extraction
A spinning rotary brush breaks up compacted lint while a high-CFM vacuum extracts it simultaneously. No pushing lint deeper into the system.
Bird Nest & Debris Removal
Bird nests, rodent debris, and construction material removed completely. Common in Fort Wayne's older neighborhoods with exterior wall vents.
Vent Cap Cleaning & Flow Test
Exterior vent cap cleaned and inspected. We run a flow test to verify proper airflow from dryer to exterior termination.
Before/After Documentation
We run the 4K camera through again after cleaning. You see the difference. Before/after photos emailed to you with a USFA-compliant safety report.
Why Our 4K Camera Inspection Changes Everything
Most dryer vent cleaners in Fort Wayne work blind. They push a brush through and hope it's clean. We run a 4K camera through your entire vent system before and after cleaning. You see the lint buildup, the bird nest, the crushed ductwork — whatever is in there. Then you see it cleared. No guessing. No "trust me, it's clean." Visual evidence on every job.
See the Problem
Before cleaning, our 4K camera shows exactly what's blocking your vent — lint, bird nests, crushed ductwork, or disconnected joints.
Verify the Fix
After cleaning, we run the camera through again so you can see your vent is completely clear. No guesswork.
Documented Evidence
Before/after photos emailed to you with a USFA-compliant safety report. Your proof of maintenance for insurance and peace of mind.

Why Dryer Fires Happen
Lint builds up inside the vent line and restricts airflow. With nowhere to go, heat builds inside the dryer and the duct until the trapped lint ignites.
The U.S. Fire Administration reports roughly 2,900 home clothes dryer fires every year, causing about 5 deaths and $35 million in property loss. Their data names failure to clean as the leading cause.
A single annual cleaning removes the fuel source. Keep the lint out of the line and the fire risk drops to near zero.

What's Included, Step by Step
Every residential dryer vent cleaning follows the same four steps — nothing is skipped.
1. Full-line brush cleaning
We run a spinning rotary brush with simultaneous vacuum from the dryer connection all the way to the exterior termination — extracting lint, not pushing it deeper.
2. Airflow before & after measurement
We measure airflow at the start and again at the end so you have a number proving the vent is clear, not just a promise.
3. NFPA 211 inspection
We check duct material, length, turns, and the exterior termination against NFPA 211 and current Fort Wayne code.
4. Code-compliant vent cap options
If your vent cap is missing, damaged, or has a non-compliant mesh screen, we offer a code-compliant louvered cap and install it on the spot.
